guish. The letter was from Chllicothe, and
contained the news OF the sudden and distress
ing death Of Mr. BeecheI's brother, the pastor
of the Presbyterian church OF that town, who
had accidentally shot himself with his own
gun. Mr.. Hunter says:
For brief space after Mr. Beechor came
to my room, he sat silent. Then there was a
violent revulsion. He seemed to come out of
his collapse. The paralysis was past. His
tongue was loosed and poured forth torrent

Destructive CONFIRMATION.

CfcAGo, Sept ga destructive fire
broke out late last night in the extensive
box factory Of Maxwell Bros. The blaze
started In a one story building. How the
fire originated is q mystery, as all the
lights and fires we're extinguished when the
men quit work at O'Clock last evening
Maxwell Bros. loss amounts to about $l25,-
000 Almost the whole mandatory plant
consisting Of large two story
brick building. several one story buildings
and the valuable equipment OF machinery
were destroyed; in fact none OF Maxwell
Bros property escaped the flames except
their lumber yard and stables. The fire
spread to the planning mill and sash factory
of John T. L0bstern, which adjoined the
box factory on the east and caused damage
to the amount of $4,000 to the
machinery and structure Of three
story frame building which stood
across the street from Lobstern's main
plant. H B Bonnet & Co.'S planning mill
on The west side of LOOMS street was also
damaged TO some extent by reason of the
sparks carried from the box factory fire.
Insurance on The Maxwell plant amounts
to between $4,000 and $50 000 Lob
stern's loss is $40 600, partially covered by
an insurance of $4,000. For some
time the fire was Of such threat
ening character that its spread to
many lumber yards and planning mills In
the vicinity seemed inevitable and four
alarms were given to the fire department.
BY effective and prompt work the tiremen
confined the blaze within the limits de-
scribed above Three hundred and sixty

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 29.-Tbe presence
of Cardinal Gibbons at the centennial ser
vices In Independence square on Saturday
a week ago has stirred up bitter feeling
among the Presbyterians IN this city, if the
Presbyterian Journal is fair exponent of
their opinions. Last week it contained
several criticisms upon the centennial
commissioners for inviting the cardinal.
John a KassOn, now at his home IN Iowa,
as president Of the commission. replied to
the article in an interview. He said the
commission studi0usly avoided any sem
blance of paTtisanship, either religious or
political, in its arrangements, and that Car
dinal Gibbons was invited as the head of
the largest body OF Christians In the
United States The Presbyterian Journal,
which will be issued tomorrow, will de-
vote two entire pages in answering
R1r. KassOns reasons why Cardinal
Gibbons was invited to offer q closing
prayer at the centennial exercises. The
article concludes with these words: eve
confess our protestant blood boils over this.
Mr. KassOn and other protestants who
were CD the commission had no right to
humiliate this protestant city and protestant
nation. # they were hood winked or
ac5ed from ignorance they should confess

Likely to Cause Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 30 "A local paper an
nounces that political fight was opened in
the Grand Army eHcampment yesterday
afternoon, which Is likely 10 produce
q great deal of disturbance 10 that
body. Elk Commander In Chief Paul
Vandervoort, OF Nebraska, introduced
a resolution which severely cen
sured President Cleveland for
vetoing the dependent pension bill.
II was referred to the committee on rcsolu
tons without debate. but it Is asserted that
the sentiments expressed IN it he warmly
supported by what is called the futile ele
ment, whicl is said 10 be strong, while the
conservatives mostly from the east viii OPP
pose them. The Ohio delegates have in
strucled the member on the committee on
resolutions from that state TO Op
p1Se the resCl Ition and &c
move that It be laid on the table
Other states will probably take like action.
1t is alleged that futile is the parent Of the
resolution, but that in consequence Of his
recent notoriety, Mr.. Vandervoort was in
duced to present it. II is expected that 8
moi ,rity of the committee on resolutions
will oppose the resolution and that mi
nority report will be made, and that in the
end the matter viii be brought directly be

WRITING FOR THE PAPERS.
Intelligence of Constituents-"Flub" to
be Avoided-Sim plicity.

be plicity.
@Let Us consider that cur constituents are
as intelligent as we are, and then we shall
run no risk Of making ourselves the laughing
stock of anybody"
So wrote the city editor Of big Boston
paper for the benefit of his men OF the day
after great article had been printed, the
story of President Cleveland's reception in
Boston. The only bleunish on the article was
what newspaper men call the 'hub" that ap-
peared in it here and there. "Flub' is the
result of "a manifest attempt to write rhetor-
ical and fowery sentences" as the Level
headed city editor put it.
Think OF your reader Is being as intelligent
q man az you are. Think of him as having
the same sensations. emotions, passions Lay
down the general rule that what interests
you win interest him, and then tell him
about it as one intelligent man would talk to
another.
The rhetorics say: aAvoid colloquialisms"
That's all very well if you are writing grad
uation essay or a county history, but news
paper is neither chapter Of history nor a
bundle of essays. Perhaps newspaper ought
to be SO written that its indeIed file would
served as an annual encyclopedia That
isn't the readable, successful newspaper. The
successful paper OF to-day is nothing but a
great big gossip.
Write, then, as you would talk, presunling,
of course, that you are a gentleman and that
you talk like one. If you were telling ghost
story to roomful of people you would tell it
as dramatically as you knew how, but you
wouldn't say: "Tbe ghost perambulated down
the lane" You might say: "He stalked ma
jestically away" That wouldn't be "fub. -
Most certainly "peranbulate" would.
The too explicit writer is among the worst
enemies of the desk editor. Like Joey Bag
stock, she's tough, sir, tough, and de-vilish
sly" His friends never receive gifts, but
always "are the recipients of gifts" His
neighbors build cottage houses" and they
are ITO be begun" next week. There seems
to be but little" going on in his town, and
then he reels off a dozen pages OF twaddle.
With him nothing happens "when, but always
'at the time that" Public gatherings as
semble" for him to report. After the COM
pany "has adjourned to the supper room, !"
where q "bounteous collation." is enjoyed. "
speech making is in order and addresses are
made" IS If addresses would be made if
speech making were not in order. Then all
"participate"-they never "take part"-in
dancing until q late hour, when the 'tired
dancers" always vote it 'tte most enjoyable
occasion" Of the season.
